Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region.

In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.

“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met,” it said. “All ships are requested, for the sake of their security and safety, not to approach the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel that defies this directive will be targeted.”

    It’s only part to do with Autism. My experience with moderate to strong autism in people is like a dog with a bone. They will not drop a point and will stay super focused on it even when everyone else has moved on, or conversation moves forward. Autism makes people “sticky” they won’t drop a view they hold without trusting the people they are interacting with to a significant degree. This is not

    But the other descriptors are very important to producing shitty people. The part that makes this bad is the narcissist part.

    Autism is just one that makes it hard to put themselves in the other peoples shoes. Autism makes it difficult to understand other people’s perspective and can lock in on their own experience of the world which doesn’t usually align with the vast majority of other humans. They have a really hard time relating to other people in some people.

    Having 3 such people with the those specific traits arguing against each other, the autism part is not what makes them bad people. A better way to describe the affect autism would have in this scenario is that you could say ruthlessly and mercilessly tenacious instead of autism because that’s the enhancement autism produces in this scenario.

    It’s a very useful capability when channelled in good ways, channeling it in narcissistic ways is what is wrong here. Autism is a powerup, it’s not bad the way the other descriptors are

      You don’t have to be autistic to get stuck on a view, look at the MAGA base while the leopard eats their faces

        No you dont. Absolutely correct. But it’s a very different kind of compulsion for people who express their autism that way.
